Fine daily blogger I am. I missed three days. At first I put “several” but then I counted. Three is more like a few. I don’t make the rules.
I think Santa likes me anyways. He’s not a big reader of blogs, so I hear.
I threw in a photo right away. This is Santa Claus, who was at the Herkimer County Historical Society last Saturday. They were also selling cookies. Yum! I was in a perfectly dreadful mood and had been for some days. I did not know what to do, but I wanted to support the Society, so I walked over. The volunteers gave me a warm welcome (they know me from the murder mysteries) and invited me to hang out with them for as long as I wanted to. Of course I did and had a wonderful time.
I wish the picture was a little clearer.
The Suiter House was beautifully decorated. Of course I took a few pictures.
I don’t know who the lady in the portrait is.
We talked about Christmas villages, and how they tend to grow, sometimes out of control. I thought the one on their mantle was just right.
No, I did not sit on his lap!
I did not tell Santa what I wanted for Christmas, because quite frankly, I have been bad all year and do not expect any presents, although I know Santa is something of a pushover, so I might in fact get something (that is not a run-on sentence, although I suppose a period might not have come amiss).
I felt very Christmasy and happy after my visit to the historical society. I hope to volunteer there in the new year, to a greater extent than putting on the murder mystery. That would probably make for some good blog posts.
The Herkimer County Historical Society is located at 400 and 406 Main St., Herkimer, NY. You can visit their website at www.herkimercountyhistory.org
